i am having issues with my PPP (EE) - i can sometimes get it to start (from emmc), and then things are fine, but usually i dont get anything. no led, no buzz, nothing. i have now tried pressing "re" ... the exact sequence isnt clear to me. should i also press power? or simply press "re" while connecting via USB? dmesg on the machine i am connecting it to stays silent, no usb devices appear. also - battery in or out? does it make a difference?

the cable is fine, i tested it with another phone, and i have also swapped cables - and i also have charge the ppp on it before.

one thing i did notice was that the sd card slot sounded weird when i first inserted a card - i also have the original PP, and it did not have this issue. i would desribe the sound as "scratchy" - does anyone else have this issues?

what could i try? i would really like to keep playing with it.

Mine wouldn't update from the app or terminal. It seemed to take forever to charge or boot. I absolutely loved the 10 hours I had with it before it would not boot period.
Its a decent techy paperweight. I wanted to love this phone soooo bad. It is simply too early to release and I will have to roll the dice again with Librem 5.

System 76 isn't a phone but for a Linux experience its way better. Way more polish. I do not regret the $3000 I spent on it or the $300 on its keyboard. But I have severe buyers remorse for the $400 pine pro. Just an honest opinion.

Your phone is not broken, I see this bug a dozen times daily. Please follow the instructions in the blue info box and join the community channel for debugging: https://wiki.pine64.org/wiki/PinePhone_Pro#Installation_instructions
